Chalk Goby?
Today, I bought something called a Chalk Goby. I can't find much information about it. It is pretty much completely white. Has it been mislabeled or has it got a more common name?

Can't help you too much without a scientific name. I have an idea, Valenciennea sexguttata, but I am not sure.
 If that is the case, I would treat it like any of the other Valenciennea sp. gobies.

That's the exact one. Is Chalk Goby it's common name?

Err, no. 'sexguttata' would mean sexy guts...no... six spots, rather. I would go with the six spotted goby or six spotted sleeper goby. There are others, I am sure, but those would be, if there is such a thing, the 'most' correct.

I found Six Spots aswell. I think that's about all the common names.
